麻豆社 Minute

Available for over a year

The 90th Oscar Academy Awards in Hollywood featured many highlights, but there was a phrase that stood out during Frances McDormand's acceptance speech for winning Best Actress for Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri. An 'inclusion rider' is a clause that an actor can insist be inserted in their contract that requires cast and crew on a film to meet a certain level of diversity. The term's popularity has surged since the speech, with around 30 million people searching for the term in Google. The 麻豆社's Ben Sutherland explains the meaning behind the phrase.
